Epilepsy on 10-20-2004

Keppra
Epilepsy on 10-18-2004
Hi! Like you I was very hesitant about going on keppra. I was scared of how my body would react, and despite having only fair control on lamictal, I was uneasy about switching.

Hi, i've been on lamictal for 7 years and it has been rather effective for me. When I first started on it, I was put on 50mg/day and increased the dosage by that much every week until I got to 500mg.
